StarryEyed<3 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 I can't even remember dreaming 99% of the time so this lucid dreaming is not going to happen. There's a special technique to use to remember your dreams:thumb_yello: it's cumulative, if you remember a dream by chance and use he technique you start remembering more and more... It's called Dream Recall and there's lots of ways to improve it:wink2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lena Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've done it before. But it takes a long time. I mean, I must be alone to do lucid dreaming. To avoid being disturbed and there were no extraneous sounds. Or need to move away from external stimuli. I did dreams with Mika before, even at work). As a child I created a dream with my imaginary family. I had a husband and five children))). I was could manage my imaginary family and I knew every thing in my imaginary home. But it is interesting that it is not always possible to fully manage such a dream. It happens that people in my dreams can do what they want. I did "scroll through" my dream back if I wanted to change something). This is interesting. This is different from fantasy. Because you are not control and do not notice the outside world. It's like drowsiness. If I'm tired or I cannot sleep, I hear music, singing,a lot of musical instruments , choirs ... To write songs in sleep is so easy). But as soon as the light stimulus come from the outside ... everything is falling apart and I can not remember almost anything. So sorry that a music turns out very nice, but there is no way to make a record with our brain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonyoulove Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I've never understood lucid dreaming . . . like, how do you know that you're not just dreaming that you have that control of the dream? Like, an illusion. I suppose it's something you have to experience to really understand? I'm not sure I'd want to have much control, because I really like the random surrealness of dreams. But it would be nice to decide that Mika will be in my dreams, if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like as if you're fantasizing... fantasizing and then you fallen asleep unnoticeably and your fantasy turned into a dream. But this is not a real dream. Your brain does not rest as during normal sleep. Maybe it's good training for your desirable dream). If I see a dream with Mika, but accidentally wake up, I turn to the other side with a determination to finish a dream on. And it works. The main thing is not to be distracted by the fact that woke you. Don't buck up from a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwurtie Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 lol, I've dreamt like that since forever, I dont know why everyone is so excited about it and why people have suddenly realised you can do it I cant always do it though...

kaisam Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I almost never remember my dreams . I guess it's time to give it a new try . I miss the times when I used to have dreams every night and wake up feeling happy in the morning. I did try one of the techniques a few months ago but then I found out that this particular one leads to sleep paralysis so now I just try to remember my dreams:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only you're still in your dream:wink2: You can remember things from waking life, and think freely. Actually, in a lucid dream, you don't HAVE to control things at all.. You can just enjoy the dream! I sometimes like to talk to dream characters and let my subconscious mind answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both! You can do the first by recognizing a dream sign, and the second by a wake induced lucid dream, which means closing your eyes and falling asleep physically while you're still conscious...

I've had sleep paralysis with 18 years for three- four years. Not the most pleasant experience. But it is very interesting. I was afraid to sleep without a light. But that ended when I learned to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilasko Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I actually realized I was dreaming this night But I couldn't control my dream anyway. I wanted it to come green elephants seriously don't as why but it didn't But at least I could fly, or I wouldn't call it to fly I just manage to see some panorama pictures over the city which isn't exactly flying... So I have no idea how do you control the dream once you realized it's a dream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have no idea how do you control the dream once you realized it's a dream? Well, you could've not had full lucidity... Dreams like that are a good first step. It's a matter of having some good memory and a good willpower. When you get to the dream, spin around and touch things and use your senses to make it more vivid. Then the main thing is that if you have ANY doubt whatsoever you wont be able to control. Its important to believe totally that it will happen, or else that mental block will keep you from doing things in your dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
